AN IMPROVING EXCURSION.

A member of our staff, who is a
kind of self-appointed Inspector
General of Hawaiian Nuisances,
went on grievance discovery jour-
ney of scientific investigation last
evening, and had a very pleasant
and improving excursion.
Going up Nuuanu Valley, musing
upon men and the miseries of man
kind in sort of far niente Govern
ment Official vein of humor, our
man became aware of a highly res
pectable looking person toiling along
on foot. AS the novel writer says,
"he was scrupulously clean," bar
ring the dust, and in good condi-
ton, only with haggard express
sion on his face. This, thought the
member of our staff, looks like a
grievance. A well-dressed man on
foot, when other people of that des-
cription ride in carriages or on horse
back, laboring through the dust,
and appearing troubled. Here is
the prospect of some revelation cal
culated to harrow the feelings and
make days disturbance. So our
man sided up to the stranger, and
saluted him as politely as he knew
how. "Good evening, sir: nice
evening""
The gentleman looked riled, and
after little hesitation replied saw
agely, 81 don't see it" which, of
course, paved the way to an un-
restricted intimacy; for whenever
you want to get at mans personal
investments in the wheel of fortune,
always commence operations by dis
turbing his bile. The more grabbed
he feels at starting, the easier his
communications will flow afterwards.
Our man knew this, and had the
stranger open like book in no
time, and proceeded TO question him
further.
German philosopher, sir?" said
he. "Looking for proofs of the germ
theory, or volcanic haze around the
moon, or a new race of troglodytes,
or royal letters, or something in
that way?"
"German fiddlesticks !" exclaimed
the gentleman.

TESTIMONY IN OUR COURTS.

There is reason to believe that
perjury is not unknown in our
Courts of Justice. Testimony given
by witnesses for the prosecution is
not unfrequently tinged with spirit
of righteousness, while that given
by witnesses on both sides, occa-
sionally savors strongly of viola
tion of the eighth commandment. A
regular visitor to the Hawaiian halls
of justice cannot fail to be impressed
with feeling that false testimony is
not unknown. Amongst Cinnamon

seems to prevail in our Police Court
of late, it is not surprising that per-
jury should be prevalent, for to them,
the truth is unknown. Were the
practice confined solely to the fol-
lowers of Buddha and Confucius,
the consequence might not be so
serious, but the mischief lies princi-
pally in the perjured statements
made by native IIawaiians. The
latter are born and bred rs Chris
tians, and truth, with them, should
be paramount above every thing
else. However it is not so. Only
a few weeks ago, six witnesses gave
evidence in the Police Court, three
of whom sworc distinctly "black," !"
while the other three swore "white,"
with equal emphasis. Obviously,
therefore, three persons in this case
uut UOIllC lulSS WithSSS' All SN-
planation for testimony of this
nature was recently suggested by a
Judge sitting on the Colonial Bench
in the following words: "Witnesses
unaccountably," he admitted, "fre-
quently swore TO a fact believing
that they were speaking the truth,
and others swore the direct opposite,
believing that they, too, were telling
the truth. 1t was the old story of
the chameleon" This illustration
however, is hardly applicable to the
majority of cases in our local Police
Court, for according to the story the
chameleon did really change color,
while the modern witness will tell a
Judge to his face that white is
black, or that black is white, accord
ing to the direction in which his
interest lies. What astonishes us
is, that il perjury is common, pro-
secutions for that offence are rare.
Whatever Importance there may be
attached to the form of oath ad.
ministered in the Courts, and there
is only one form here, for Christian,
heather or inGdel, it is not respect
for the sacredness of an oath, bu,
fear of the law which deters an un-
truthful man or woman from know
ingly calling white black in the wit
ness box. Perjurers ought not tC
be encouraged by an impression o.
judicial Indifference nor by any
latitudinarian views which Judges
might hold with regard to the obliga
tions of witnesses in tie Court o
law, but rather to be impressed will

times and on all occasions, speakin!

Results of the Dakota Election.

The Bismarck Tribune has election re-
turns, official and unofficial, from sixty
out OF the eighty-siX organized counties in
the territory. These foot up 3O,SO3 Tor
division and 81, 1876 against division, or a
total of 81, 500 votes. The twenty-six coun-
ties, sixteen north and and ten south Of the
46th parallel, not yet heard from cast in
1886 for delegate "a, 800 votes. Reckoning
that one-half the vote was pOlled in the
ten southern counties and One-third the
vote in the sixteen northern counties. and
we have 10, 292 votes as the probable
vote on the division question to be add
ed to the above figures. The northern
counties being largely opposed TO di.
vision, it is safe to estimate that the
official canvass will show that IL
these twenty-six counties cast lO,292
votes, as least 5. 2O2 will be against
division and 5, 200 for division. This will
make the total vote on division in the ter.
ritory in round figures SO, 1000 aad the
majority for division 5000. In 1886
there were 1O4, S12 votes cast Tor delegate.
The increase in the voting population since
the fall OF 1886 can be safely reckoned at
20 900. SO the combined interest in the
two issues OF prohibition and division
brought out less than half n vote.

Sir Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Charles Tup-

m~issioners, and Messrs. Bayard, Putnam

Monday last. After transacting some pre-

ment is authorized by Secretary Bayard
that any article that may appear p~urport-

to whether the representatives OF the

The public has been fully informed al To

the c. A. r. PENSION BILL.
Returns Received at NationaI Head-
quarters Favor the Passage of the
Proposed Dependent Pension Bill
1.-The Provisions OF the Bill.

The members OF the Grand Army OF the
Republic have been industriously at work
in securing an expression in favor ofanOth-
er dependent pension bill to take the place
OF that vetoed by President Cleveland. The
bill has been submitted to all the Grand
Army posts OF the country, nearly all OF
which have made returns to the national
headquarters at Minneapolis, showing q
remarkable unanimity OF sentiment in ia
vor OF a new pension measure. The result
Of the vote as far as received was forward
ed to Gen. George S. Merrill OF Lawrence,
Mass, chairman Of the pensions commit
tee. The main features of the proposed
bill are as follows:
1t provides that in case of dependent
parents OF deceased soldiers, who have lett
no legal heirs, it shall only be necessary to
show that such parents have been without
other means OF support than their own
labor or the contributions of Others to en-
title them to a pension; provided, that al
pensions under the section shall commence
form the date OF actual dependence, il
claim raj filed prior to July l, 1880, and in
case OF applications thereafter made from
date of filing in the pension Office, or from
date OF subsequent dependence. All
who served for three months or
over and were honorably discharged,
and who may be suffering from mental or
physical debility, not the result of Their
own vicious habits, shall receive a pension
of $12 per month, commencing from the
date OF the filing OF the application; pro
vided, that no person shall receive more
than one pension for the same period and
that rank in the service shall not bt
considered. In case any invalid pension
er dies, those directly dependent upon hin
may be placed upon the pension rollt
without regard to the cause OF death, un
less it results from vicious habits
widows and deceased pensioners must show
that they were married prior to the pas
sage Of the act in order to secure the benefits
and the.increase OF pension for children shall
be at the rate OF 50 per month instead o
80, and shall continue dnring the life of {
minorschild which may be insane. idiotic
or otherwise helpless. Agents prosecuting
any claim under the act shall receive no
more than SO for his services, and any
agent who shall withhold any part OF 3
claim allowed shall pay il fine not exceedin

The Famous HInman-Hare Case

The Sioux Falls, (Dak.,) Press says:
Much has appeared regarding the discUn-
tInuance OF the Hinman-H Hare libel suit.
Most OF it has been published in an inter
est opposed to Bishop Hare, and is utter
ly misleading. The statement which has
appeared may be condensed and arranged
as follows: That Bishop Hare has given
Mr.. Human clear legal dismissory-that
he regrets now that he made
the statement for which he was sued
that he changed his mind as to the
merits OF the controversy, that he has
certified to Mr.. Humans general good
character; that he has intimated that he
was misiniormed when he made the
charges; that Mr.. Hinman had been restor.
ed to the missions. On reading the state,
ment Bishop Hare remarked: Every one
OF those statements is false. 1t ia not pos.
sible to argue the case in the newspapers,
but l have lived among the people in Da.
kota fifteen years and expect, God willing,
to be SO happy as to live with them many
years longer, and l say to those who know
me, on my honor, every one OF the above
! statements are false. Not one OF them
was the case on which the suit was discon-
tinued.
